James Lafferty has revealed that he would love Chad Michael Murray and Hilarie Burton to return to One Tree Hill.

Murray and Burton, who played Lucas and Peyton, left the show at the end of the sixth season.

Lafferty, who plays Nathan, has now told Zap2It that he would like them to come back at some point during the eighth season.

"I think that's what the fans want," he said. "They want to see Lucas and Peyton come back one more time and they want to see everybody together again. I think that's a healthy reward for the fans, after watching for so long. At this point, eight seasons in, what I want is to see the fans get what they want."
